"I own 19 Remington model 700, 721 and 722 rifles. Most of those guns are over 40 years old: They have fired at least one million rounds, probably more. Not one of those guns has ever gone off until it was supposed too."
That's absolute BS because you couldn't shoot that many times from birth to death in a normal lifetime! All I will say is that if the guy that invented the friggin trigger tells people that it needs fixing because of the problem we're discussing, I think I would follow his lead and fix the GD thing and not come up with all this crappola that "it's never happened to me or my buddies". I knew this is exactly what all the guys with Remingtons would come up with on this thread and all I can say is I hope what has happened to thousands of others doesn't happen to you. I've never owned a Remington and never will. I have Sakos, Rugers, and pre 64 Model 70s and won't have to worry about any of them due to a shoddy design. Now you Remington guys can carry on with this topic all you want, but if I did own one I'd be spending less than $100 and changing the trigger to make sure it didn't happen to me.
jr97---There is no problem with their shotguns and the only rifle now being produced by Remington that has the possibly defective trigger mechanism is the 770 to the best of my knowledge.
